.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
Functions in this library extract specific identifier, publisher, and attribute
information from a system event (sysevent) handle, defined as \fBsysevent_t\fR,
and allow privileged user-level applications to queue system events for
delivery to the system event daemon, \fBsyseventd\fR(8).
.sp
.LP
The \fBlibsysevent\fR interfaces do not work at all in non-global zones.
.sp
.LP
For a list of events, please see \fBsysevents\fR(3SYSEVENT). The actual
events and their payload, unlike the library interfaces, are considered
private to the system and subject to change at any time.
